Comment 2 for bug 1040349

Hi Alex,

I have no idea with regards to the technical details of this all, but I have noticed that the program 'Create Launcher' (create-launcher 1.0-0ubuntu1) is capable of creating shortcuts to run a program as administrator. This program is available for free from the software centre, and whilst it is proprietary in nature, you can still view the '*.desktop' files it creates. Maybe this can give you some ideas?

Hope that helps,
Charlie
